(blog, that is)After lots of dithering and whining and vacillating, I've decided to move my blog.<br />
I'll be using WordPress, even though I still claim to not like the platform.<br />
At first, I'll be using WordPress.com, then I'll switch over to a self-hosted WordPress blog.<br />
Mostly this will be an educational venture for me. There have been too many times lately that I've been asked to help someone with their website and I've had to turn them down because I don't feel that I'm familiar enough with WordPress to be competent in helping others. If I use it myself, I'll <i>have</i> to learn it and get better at it!<br />
I'll change this blog to be a reminder, so when you come here all you see is a reminder that I've moved, and the new address to change your bookmark or reader subscription to.<br />
Then you can watch me fumble around as I learn to "walk" over there at my new place! :)Mango Tree Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11707102037573500392noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365190274894863555.post-18404953060178557692014-11-11T16:53:00.003-05:002014-11-11T16:53:39.606-05:00Another Peek Into The Mango Tree<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img style='max-width:586px;' src='http://scontent-b.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xap1/t51.2885-15/10803009_727984063952198_34721544_n.jpg'/><br/><br /><div>Now I realize, when I was scrubbing the stove all nice and sparkly bright, I was just prepping it for this photo 😉 #blog</div><br /></div>Mango Tree Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11707102037573500392noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365190274894863555.post-62447679976988637762014-11-11T16:53:00.001-05:002014-11-11T16:53:37.845-05:00Another Peek Into The Mango Tree<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img style='max-width:586px;' src='http://scontent-b.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xpa1/t51.2885-15/928694_1494802977460307_2058233835_n.jpg'/><br/><br /><div>This morning, we painted faces.

I was nominated for Worst Mom of the Year today when he got. We were hiking (oh! Glorious autumn!), and along the trail was a beautiful 5 foot black snake. Unfortunately, there were about 20 people gathered around staring. I wasn't about to let the opportunity slip just for that, though. As I was coaching him through catching it (like we always do when we are sure it is safe), and encouraging him with "now, grab it quickly, NOW!" I heard, in the background, "them things is vurry infectious" and similar declarations. He caught it quite well, but it bit him on the hand-he grabbed hold of it a little too far behind the head and it was able to twist around to get him. He was still tremendously proud of himself, and I was proud of him too! Because of the bottleneck on the trail, my husband was left quite a bit behind with my dog and several of my children while the crowd thinned out. He later told me how very many of them were so shocked and appalled at my behavior. Several "couldn't believe" that I was acting that way. I'm not bothered at all by it, I'm rather used to it and find it amusing. But I thought it would be fun to share 😉 #tribe #blog</div><br /></div>Mango Tree Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11707102037573500392noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365190274894863555.post-72392583203414947042014-10-18T18:43:00.001-04:002014-10-18T18:43:53.483-04:00Another Peek Into The Mango Tree<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img style='max-width:586px;' src='http://scontent-a.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xfa1/t51.2885-15/10735484_715039121911841_1518377537_n.jpg'/><br/><br /><div>My "something fun" this weekend.

Makes the trip easier on mom too, there's an outfit in each bag & the bags are labeled with names. Each kid can grab their bag & get dressed while mom sips her coffee.
